Question

Herbert cut a piece of yarn into pieces that are 2/3 foot long. If the yarn is 6 feet long, how many pieces of yarn did he cut?

Answer 1

9 pieces

Explanation:

you need to divide the 6 feet of yearn into pieces that are 2/3 long.

`6 / (2)/(3)` =

`(6)/(1)` x
`(3)/(2)` =
`(18)/(2)`

=9 pieces of 2/3 ft long pieces of yarns

Answer 2

6 x 2/3

= 6/1 x 2/3

= 18/3

= 6

6 pieces
